Spaces Available For Miniatures
 

Exhibitor Update

Hi all. We are now nearing the stage where I am pinning down the final engines for Giant Miniature Weekend at Statfold Barn (May 12th/13th) and so naturally we're at the stage where the odd cancellation does come up.

At this stage I have around 5 engine spaces for miniatures free - if anyone is interested a warm welcome is assured

As some background information set-up is Thursday (Midday - 6pm) and Friday (7am - 10pm) so engines are welcomed during these times. We are expecting 100 miniature engines or more in 2" - 9" scales. As I say anyone interested even at this late stage is welcome to contact me and any questions are gladly answered. Do contact me either via TT or on sam.brandist@gmail.com to register interest. If there is any engine interest, spaces go first come first served

As for visitor tickets, they are going well and are available at www.statfoldbarnrailway.co.uk :)

Take care all, any interest welcome

Sam
